After the passing of his beloved dachshund, Sophie Sue, in July 2016, Renaissance Man Stef Albert set pen to paper and created The Magical Adventures of Sophie Sue, an educational and inspirational adventure series for children.

As artist, illustrator, designer, author and musician, Stef Albert created the charming stories and colourful illustrations as a personal homage to his loyal companion of twelve years.
A constant companion by his side, Sophie Sue travelled the world, sailed the seven seas and lived in a variety of countries. Always ready for the next adventure and loved by all who knew her, Sophie Sue touched the hearts of many.

Now, as heroine and mentor to millions of children, her legacy lives on. As a passionate activist for the well-being of animals and children, Stef Albert donates a large portion of proceeds from The Magical Adventures of Sophie Sue to animal and children protection organizations.

Dividing his personal and professional time between New York, Provence and Tuscany, he continues to draw, write, compose and design, while bringing joy and delight to children all over the world. Stef Albert holds a Doctorate in Piano from the University of Washington and is the owner of www.stefalbert.com, an award-winning international design and architecture firm.
